That's just a consequence of python's DB-API (see http://legacy.python.org/dev/peps/pep-0249/ ) the result is indeed supposed to be a list of tuples.
However web2py's DAL executesql does have many parameters that allow you to change the results, you can even get Rows if you want. I recommend you check executesql parameters (for instance as_dict) in the docs. http://web2py.readthedocs.org/en/latest/dal.html#gluon.dal.DAL.executesql -- Resources: - http://web2py.com - http://web2py.com/book (Documentation) - http://github.com/web2py/web2py (Source code) - https://code.google.com/p/web2py/issues/list (Report Issues) --- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "web2py-users" group.
